I. Call to order

The meeting was called to order at approximately 12:30pm by Jim Collom. Bill Collom signed-up as a new member and roll-call confirmed the presence of 12 members in good standing and the establishment of a quorum.

II. Reports
The minutes of the May 15, 2004, regular meeting were approved as previously published with one minor correction denoting the previously omitted name of the person (Ken Sowers) designated as the AR01 representative to the USPA board for the prior meeting.

Joe Marshall reported that there had been no change to the $158 balance in the treasury since the last meeting, but that Bill’s new membership would add a few dollars to the total.

III. Old/New Business 
Ongoing items carried forward from prior agendas were discussed, including "Private Seller" tax regulations (Jerry Conner), the nonexistence of further developments on cell phone tower encroachment (Jim Collom, Joe Marshall), and the proposed creation of a “model policy,” re: “airport zoning” (Jim Collom, Joe Marshall).

It was decided that the phone tower issue could be dropped from the agenda, but that other items were to be carried forward for continuing discussion.

Joe Marshall accepted the appointment to serve as the AR01 representative to attend the August 2004 USPA Board Meeting with the condition that Ken Sowers have the opportunity to go in Joe’s place if Ken would enjoy the assignment.

The pros and cons of filing an “Omnibus Proxy” to cover USPA meetings when an AR01 representative cannot attend was discussed. It was decided that if such a proxy were to be filed, someone from AR01 would have to research the upcoming USPA agenda so that an informed decision could be made about pertinent issues and the proxy vote(s) would be cast in support of AR01 wishes.

An email letter from Jan Hoynacki addressing the plans for AR01 to host a future meeting of USPA was read and discussed with all in accord that trying to integrate USPA activities with Holleyfest could be overwhelming for everyone involved and thus was not desirable.

The single remaining meeting of AR01 during 2004 was confirmed for November 20 as a combined “Holiday Party” with Holleyfest Planners. Ideas are being solicited for the group to “do something” different for this meeting, such as planning a dinner together at a restaurant. All suggestions should be forwarded to Christine Weiss.

Slate of candidates for officers presented by Greg Smith and Ron Edwards, Nominating Committee, were:

<> Jim Collom, president

<> John Oakland, vice president

<> Joe Marshall, treasurer

<> Christine Weiss, secretary

The proposed slate of officers, elected for a one year term to expire June 30, 2005, were unanimously elected by acclamation.

The hospitalization and recovery of AR01 past vice president Timothy Posey was discussed and an announcement made about the “fish fry” benefit and other fundraising actions to benefit the medical fund established on Tim’s behalf.

V. Call to Adjourn 
With a motion by Joe Marshall with second from Eric Archer and unanimous vote of support, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 1:30pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Christine Weiss, Secretary AR01

August 17, 2004
